The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page at http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been
set up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics

Description:

These two posts have become available due to colleagues taking funded leave during the 2007-2008 academic year. Applicants should have proven teaching ability and previous experience of teaching similar modules.

POST A is a 50% post and is available in both semesters (10 September 2007 - 30 June 2008). This will primarily involve workshop support on a number of larger undergraduate modules, particularly in the areas of Phonetics, Phonology and Sociolinguistics. If appropriate there may be an opportunity to deliver a 'special subject' relating to your research interests in the autumn semester.

POST B is a 50% post available in the autumn semester only (10 September 2007 - 10 February 2008). This will be associated primarily with the MA course in Applied Linguistics and the core modules in English Grammar, Language Teaching Methodology, and Second Language Acquisition.

Informal inquiries may be directed to Professor Susan Fitzmaurice.
